Chapter 767: Chapter 652: Memories (4K)
"I love watching women fight the most!"
If the live broadcast function were still on, there’s a high probability similar comments would appear.
Of course, it’s more likely that viewers cannot see clearly what’s happening on the scene, unless there’s a slow-motion replay by cameras.
"Too slow."
Wan Ling’s toes pressed against the ground, swiftly sidestepping sideways, gracefully evading the crushing force of the Skull Shattering Power Hammer.
Then she twisted her body, rotated, her back leg bending at the knee, driving her lower leg upward in a kick, accelerating the strike upon contact,
like a sharp blade cutting through bamboo, slicing Gray Rain’s waist, severing him in half.
"Too dull."
The reflection of the blade, fleetingly flashed by the scenery behind.
Wan Ling’s slender waist, just enough to grasp, suddenly bent backward, her upper body leaning toward the ground, dodging the swinging Fingerprint Shield,
and in the instant the shield swept past, she grabbed the lower edge of the shield with both hands, her entire body soaring upward, legs slashing, cutting through the Clay Giant’s armor.
If not for Lulina’s decisive remote operation, pushing the shield forward to create distance, this strike would have been enough to split the Clay Giant upward along the waist-central axis.
Wan Ling was carried by the shield, twisting airborne backward.
Now came the moment in the air.
Yu Meiqin’s pupils suddenly contracted, and the Iron Sand Greatsword in her hands split into sharp nails instantly.
Wan Ling’s initial form could hide between the frames of the game screen, avoiding all damage.
The second form, her head turned into a camera, freely firing air walls. The price was the inability to inherit the stealth ability of the first form.
The third form, similarly. An absurdly strong physical body quality, at the cost of losing all special abilities.
At this moment, Wan Ling was in mid-air, with no objects for leverage, becoming the ideal target.
Swoosh—
All the nails, driven by a violent magnetic field, shot out, breaking the sound barrier, bouncing arcs of electricity between each other.
In the high-speed chant of Gray Rain’s exclamation, "Whoa, Tang Sect’s ’Hundred Solutions of Hidden Weapons,’ ranked second, Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle!" they shot straight toward Wan Ling.
In the nick of time, the flywheels on Wan Ling’s hipbones whirred rapidly, suddenly braking once they glowed red-hot.
Angular momentum transferred to her body, her back facing the sky, her front facing the ground. Her stance swiftly corrected. As she discerned the trajectory of the nails, she thrust a foot forward, striking the first nail.
As a universal artificial intelligence operating based on quantum computers, Wan Ling’s computational ability was no less than Gray Rain’s after he activated the Silver Wing Light Path,
relying on the counterforce provided by the first nail, she continued adjusting her stance, either shooting away, or dodging the nails.
Passing through a sea of flowers, no trace upon her body. Wan Ling landed steadily, slowly lifted her head, and gave her comment on Yu Meiqin, "Too weak."
As her words fell, she lightly tapped her toes, once again darting forward like an arrow leaving the bowstring.
In reality, Yu Meiqin was lying in a game pod provided by the network monitoring department, directly connected to Skytop Company’s server, with a network latency of 0.
Though there was no network latency, a more severe factor still existed — the reaction speed of the human brain.
Human eyes receive information that is transmitted back to the brain at a speed of 100m/s, the brain processes the information to make decisions, and then sends commands through nerves to the limbs.
An inevitable 80 milliseconds delay exists in between.
In battles between humans, a mere 80 milliseconds is insignificant, gone in the blink of an eye.
But in the combat domain of the Transcendents, it’s enough to be fatal.
Yu Meiqin’s vision blurred, just feeling the Iron Sand Armor wrapping her body violently shaking, her body struck by a powerful force, uncontrollably flying backward.
Most of her ribs fractured, and the pain, although weakened by the protection system, was still overwhelming, causing her pupils to tremble, and she spat out vile blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.
Whoosh—
Wan Ling pursued, the restored Gray Rain, and Clay Giant charging in from left and right.
The Skull Shattering Hammer was unstoppable, Fingerprint Shield close to the ground, with great force.
Wan Ling tapped her toes on the ground, leaping upward. The movable joints of her shoulders, elbows, knees and other parts made "ku-ku" rotating twisting sounds, the whole person shrank in size,
like a butterfly, gracefully passing through the encirclement gap.
No more obstacles remained between her and Yu Meiqin, she took a step forward, but suddenly halted.
Crack crack crack!
From the ground, rows of metal long spears suddenly emerged, slanting upwards pointing to one spot, like railings, collectively forming a pyramid-shaped trap, trapping Wan Ling inside.
"Vietnam War trap, haven’t seen it, right?"
Yu Meiqin forced a smile, her teeth mostly stained with blood, looking unusually pale.
She knew she’d be seen as the weakest of the three by Wan Ling due to her nerve reaction speed — the other two were not only Extraordinary Lives but also had continuous self-healing abilities.
Therefore, when Yu Meiqin fired the Iron Sand Nails, she secretly called upon the Electromagnetic Control Power, condensing Iron Sand 25 meters below the ground to form the long spears.
The long spear trap employed an automatic triggering mechanism, activated when sensing a large metallic object passing overhead, compensating for the 80ms reaction speed disparity.
This was also the first time the group caused actual harm to Wan Ling, surrounded by densely packed Iron Sand long spears, high voltage electric current leaping between the spears,
each leap singeing Wan Ling’s metal body, leaving scorched black burn marks.
The Iron Sand cage couldn’t be physically pierced through, constrained by a magnetic field, cut, then metal particles surface automatically to replenish, extinguishing and regenerating in turn.
Tap tap tap tap.
